The excellent Mr Judd is secretly a woman (52% neutral, so ‘gender neutral’ but on the female side), and so is Dr Tibby (female, 59%, so classified as ‘gender neutral’). I’m guessing that’s because they both write about food, and families, and small children, quite a bit, despite all Dr Tibby’s protestations that he would do no such thing.

I think they might be using some sort of tool that learns as it goes along, so it updates its own criteria each time it gets new information (i.e. new blog and gender identity). I came out as male last time I did something like this too, ‘though it was a few years back, and I dropped a chunk of my thesis into the program rather than my blog.

Yeah well it thought my blog was 64% likely to be written by a woman. I’d have thought it would be higher, what with all my talk about sewing and shopping. I once did a quiz in a book by Alan Pease – you know, that guy who wrote Why men don’t listen and women can’t read maps – and it thought I was more male than female. But then, I was childless and less likely to sew back then…

I reckon that it’s not very scientific cause I got 64% a woman like Violet… thought all the pregnancy and talk of gynaecological issues would have scored me a bit higher? I don’t know many men that talk about endometriosis…

The Hand Mirror got 60% woman, I thought it would be higher to be honest (seeing as how it is written by several different women, and about feminist stuff). Maybe there was some “masculine prose” in there too😉

Well, mine is 81% womanly. Given that my last few posts have been about menstruation, breastfeeding, being a fat mother… I’m not surprised. Still, I wonder why on earth we ‘need’ such a thing. How odd!

Feminist blogging

Mary Astell

If all men are born free, how is it that all Women are born slaves? as they must be if the being subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary Will of Men, be the perfect Condition of Slavery? and if the Essence of Freedom consists, as our Masters say it does, in having a standing Rule to live by?
